Seriously! Wicked Wisdom is a metal band. They performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight. I switched back from Letterman after the Goldfrapp performance to eyewitness Jada Koren (as she now goes by) attempting her best "Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath" impression. Imagine Jada suddenly fronting Sunno))) or the Melvins or some other form of clusterfuck. Whoa, dude, that's fucked up, man! The song performed, Bleed All Over Me, drudged and droned over the course of slightly more than three minutes of metal goodness (that's left for interpretation.) In the end, I thought, "Whoa, dude!" Whether that's a positive or negative comment, that's left up to interpretation. One word summarized the experience: Clusterfuck!
Despite the clusterfucking I'm feeling in the aftermath, I found that I actually enjoyed it. This brings her coolness factor up a notch or two. I'm actually embarrassed to admit that last sentence. By the way, she's on Blogger, too.

I actually went to take a listen, and I have to say it looks like Body Count all over again. The band itself from the bit I heard were able to occassionally throw down some pummeling riffs, and I thought, "This could be ok.", until the awful choruses which were obviously custom made for Pinkett's singing(and by singing I mean insipid caterwauling) came around. Then it was just like every other early 2000's metal band with a female singer.
Evanescence, I'm looking at you.
Strangely enough, Pinkett does fine in the verses where she growls and bellows like any other respectable Cookie Monster type metal vocalist, but the questionable desire to break into almost melodic and near poppy choruses are the band's ultimate undoing in my opinion.
